Re: [Xen-users] Problem with dom0_mem=6144M

I have always used syntax

dom0_mem=6144000

And that works for me.
I have never tried to use the M and not sure what it would do.
The default units are KB.  the only thing that I have seen
that gives you less memory in dom0 than what you expected is if
you make too many domU's and xen takes the memory out of dom0's hide.

Hi all,

I try to set dom0_mem=6144M in my xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre with pv_ops kernel
2.6.32.24 (jeremy source) but after boot my dom0 appear in "free -m" 5408M.

My logs:
# xm info|grep memory
total_memory           : 32755
free_memory            : 27658

My free -m:
# free -m
            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          5408       2060       3347          0         17        133

In my menu.lst:
title KERNEL-XEN
   root(hd0,0)
   kernel /xen.gz dom0_mem=6144M
   module /vmlinuz-2.6.32.24 ro nomodeset root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
   module /initrd-2.6.32.24.img

In compilation I set this:
CONFIG_XEN_MAX_DOMAIN_MEMORY=128


Could anyone help me? Anyone experienced this?

Thank you for any help.
